    Houston, Texas - Need to re-home my 3 month old rooster

    He is a handsome Blue Plymouth Tint, and a sweet boy. I bought pullets at Tractor Supply when they were just a few days old. This one turned out to be a cockrell.

    Do your chickens always go to the coop at night?

    Here is a picture of my coop. It's new and only been used for 1-1/2 months. The board on the coop is to keep the rain from leaking inside. I clean the coop every 2 weeks, and I add shavings once in between. My chickens LOVE watermelon!! And we just discovered a baby opossum eating the...

    Do your chickens always go to the coop at night?

    I have 4 chickens and they are 2 months old. They are doing great. We have a small tractor chicken coop and most of the time they go into their coop at night and I close the door. But several times now I have found them on top of the chicken run cuddled up next to the attached coop. I...
